Nebraska Statutory Rape Offense Lawyers

Nebraska law prohibits sexual intercourse between adults and minors, even if the sex is consensual or a reasonable mistake was made regarding the alleged victim's age. If you are at least 19 years old and the alleged victim is under 16, you can be charged with felony statutory rape. If convicted, you could face up to 50 years in prison and be forced to register as a sex offender.

Because of the serious potential consequences of a statutory rape conviction, it is often in your best interests to fight these charges at trial. At McGoughLaw P.C.

Successful Trial Lawyers Fighting To Keep You Out Of Prison

Cases involving statutory rape are both legally complex and emotionally charged. Accusations of statutory rape can permanently damage your reputation, and the court of public opinion may deem you guilty before a trial commences.

Do not try to handle these charges on your own. From the moment we take your case, we will begin a thorough investigation to uncover the facts. Our team will look at all issues that led up to your arrest and determine whether your rights were violated at any stage of the process. If so, we will take immediate action to have illegally obtained evidence thrown out or to have your charges dismissed or reduced.
